OK, i have posted about synergy before but now i really want to get to the bottom of why its not installing.
Synergy is a program that acts in a similar way to a KVM switch -only without the monitor, it just allows a single mouse and keyboard for two computers (two monitors still). It does this via network, see http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ for more info.
Anyway, I see it as there being three ways to install synergy that would be plausable for my setup under DSL etc:
1) Complie it myself with gcc etc
2) Use a .deb package installation
3) Use an apt-get install
Heres what goes wrong;
1) Synergy has too many needs for me to compile it, it wants strange libaries i have never heard of apart from gcc and xfree.
2) The .deb install returns an error that is fairly crytpic to me:
"bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'".
3) Apt-get insists that it "E: could not find the package synergy"
Any ideas?, is it that with apt-get i need another title insted of synergy (like synergy-1.2.2 etc, i have tried a few)
I really dont know about the others.
Any ideas are well appreciated, oscar.
